Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital

I trust my life with Dr. Vijay. Been his patient for 20 wonderful years. He has taken excellent care of me. Every doctor should learn how to be a great doctor like him.

Excellent from day one. Makes you feel like a friend. Spends time with you and listens.

WENT WELL

I had a telephone conversation with Dr. VIJAY this morning and was very pleased with the results. I have complete trust in my Doctor and especially his knowledge!

"best recovery from surgery"

I was glad that Dr. Albasha cared enough about my concerns that he made sure to see me in person rather then having a video visit.

Video visit went well.

Handled professionally, felt safe in no risk,

Dr. Albasha is always on time

I appreciated when Dr Albasha came to see me in the hospital, in rehab and in office. He provides great care to his patients.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Mix. She is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I’m so thankful to be her patient.

Dr. Mix is a great physician. She and her team offer excellent service!

Follow up visit. Dr Vijay listens and explains in detail my concerns. I respect his opinion and I have confidence in his care for my health issues.

Great care given by Dr Goldstein. Outstanding physician.

So very helpful. Listened and made things clear to me

Always an excellent experience. Expertise, experience and passion embodies her work.

Great staff very thorough

I was admitted to Banner Estrella on Fathers Day 2020 with chest pains. Long story short, I had 100% blockage in main artery. DR.Akkad was called in for evaluation and decided to do a heart catheterization on the following day. My condition worsend that evening and he was called back in. He...

Dr. Ramaiah is the best! She exhibits professionalism, empathy and respect. I was extremely anxious about a surgical procedure that she managed along with Dr. Patricia Thorpe. Dr. Ramaiah was able to eliminate all of my fears by taking the time to explain things to me in detail and she listened to...

This was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend him!

On Sunday June 21, 2020 I had a heart attack, everything started at around noon with some mild pain on my arm and chest, I checked my blood pressure and the reading was very high 165/95 but the pain went away. At around 4 pm I proceeded to check my blood pressure again and this time was 165/105....

Dr. Keith Waram is one of the best drs to perform heart surgery/Stent insertion. Dr. Will ensure that you really need a Stint and or surgery. If he finds you don’t need stint he will ensure that you know it and see it on the monitor that all is well. He is the best I recommend him to anyone for...

Surgery was good but I can never get ahold of anyone when I have questions, the pharmacy and myself have tried for 3 days to refill my Brilinta. I don't even know the results of my last visit! while typing this I have been transferred twice and on hold for over 20 minutes and no return call.

Excellent in afib ablation and arhythmia problems. office staff leaves somethng to be desired

Dr. Warren is by far the best vascular/wound care physician I have ever had, and I have been to every wound care center/program/Office in the valley over the past 6 years. Abrazo heart hospital/wound center was literally my last hope. The first visit she knew exactly what was wrong and after tests...

Very disappointing, I was referred to Dr. Macherla because he was the Thoracis expert. He never examined me. It seems he was more interested in my thyroid problem. So he wrote several order and told me to get all the tests done. His staff was not experienced or trained how to assist me. I arrived at...

Dr. Liu is the best primary care physician I have ever had. I am in my 50s with numerous medical issues and he has the compassion, knowledge, and patience to provide me with the best possible care. He literally saved my life.

Husband had a surgery with this doctor 7 hours later still no phone call would not recommend him his bedside manner is terrible communication skills suck

I loved nurse practitioner Stephanie. She helped treat my palpitations with metoprolol which has also decreased my anxiety. I feel so much better! I can enjoy my life again. I would send to any one of my friends or family members to see her.

I met Dr Shennib in 2016, and as he says, we decided to become life-long friends. I am so happy to have this friend. To those who don’t know, expect to wait in the waiting room. This Dr is so amazing that everyone wants him, and he wants to help everyone. That causes delays because he gives each...

I love the office and staff, but Dr. J is a great doctor, love the work.

Great work, great doctor!

Dr Singh has literally saved my life. I cannot have anesthesia as I’m allergic to it. My BP goes to 12 and my heart stops. He doesn’t hesitate to take care of me. When he saw a shadow after my annual test, he said in need to look and see what’s happening He found I needed a stent in my main killer...

Horrible office experience. 8:30 am appointment on a Friday.....Waited one hour for a consultation, which is what 10 minutes? Told them I had to leave by 9:30 and walked out not even seeing a doctor....maybe he doesn't exist? Rude staff and they took my $45 for nothing!!! Not professional at...

He is very responsive and competent regarding any kind of complications that come up. That's the good. I had a breast reduction and these are the reasons I would not recommend him. I was very clear about wanting to be "as small as possible", yet the amount of breast tissue he took out would qualify...

Dr. Michelle Mix is very smart and competent. She listens well, and I trust her decisions for my cardiac health. I completely trust her with my life. I would highly recommend her.

after I waited almost an hour - he had the nerve to tell me he was behind. did nothing for me. was not interested. when I left I cancelled him as my doctor. would not recommend him.

I have not met him yet. My appt. is in 8 days. The reviews I have read so far has helped me to calm dawn. Meeting him for the first time to go over results of ultrasound on my legs. I could have gotten a sooner appt. But I have to wait for payday to cover my copay.:-(. Eight days is gonna seem like...

the staff and drs at affiliated cardiologists were amazing .nooone judged me for any poor choices i have made previously,and the previous ones i had been to did .they were so compassionate and made me feel comfprtable.dr. bashir put 2 stents in and was very compassionate about my fears and gave me...

Dr. Akkad and PA Katie Minor are just about fantastic. I would highly recommend them and Affiliated Cardiologists. My sister is a patient and she was always talking about how much she liked Dr. Akkad and Katie Minor. When I needed a new Cardiologist I immediately contacted them and made an...

I recently had surgery with many complications, and Dr. Jacobsen was wonderful! The complications were not due to anything on his part; my body just would not heal due to infections, etc, even though we were doing our very best to follow all directions. He was vigilant in my healing process,...

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. J for my breast augmentation. Through my whole surgery experience I felt well taken care of, informed and comfortable. From consult to post op, Dr. J & his staff with wonderful. He listened and honored what I wanted and he delivered! I am 7 months...

Extremely disappointing attitude by Dr. Waram. The problem I have encountered, due to his laziness or forgetfulness, caused me to waste hours of calls in an attempt to figure out why I was not approved for the recommended next procedure. Eventually, I have found out that he simply did not complete...

Dr Julio Rodriguez-Lopez is outstanding. He took the time and effort to explain my my condition of aneurysm perfectly and understandably. He has countenance and is personable. He stepped up and followed up and I am both fortunate and grateful that he saved my life.

Great doctor with a fabulous staff.

He has been my doctor for over 15 years and am very pleased with his care.

At my last appt, Dr. J. asked me what I wanted. I replied I wanted my breasts to be redone. He led me to believe this would be done without additional charges. AFTER I left the office, he sent an email requiring me to PAY him again to fix the issues he CAUSED. Would NEVER recommend!

A few thoughts: Dr. J agreed that my left breast is now smaller than my right breast. He then said that this is normal in some woman. It has NEVER been normal for me, even prior to my first implants. Prior to surgery, you asked what size I wanted. My husband and I both said “larger" than what I had...

Dr. Badaliv has been my dentist for more than 13 years, he has taken care ofmy oral health and helped me become confident if my smile.

This "doctor", and I use the term loosely as he does not honor his oath, does not care one whit about the patient in front of him. You are just an insurance claim and nothing more.  His arrogant tantrum and extremely dismissive attitude was nothing I have encountered with any doctor and,...

Dr/ Akkad has been my doctor since 2007 and I wouldn't have another. He and his office staff are so sweet and kind. If you need a great caring, understanding doctor he should be your choice for the care you need.

Dr Jacobsen did the closure and repairs after I had cancer removed from my nose. This was a very stressful event. He and his staff made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Two weeks later I am very happy with the results. He is a very skilled surgeon. I didn't need to contact him afterward...

I am a former open heart surgery patient. My previous cardiologist left my insurance group. Dr Doss is my new Cardiologist. He did a good job listening to my health history, asking clarifying questions and taking notes. He conducted a few tests and reviewed my file to form a treatment plan....

Dr J. is a great surgeon and gives his complete attention to his work at hand. He listens and communicates and has a great bedside manner. His pricing is affordable with great results. Any questions or concerns you have are answered by Dr. J. himself. Which to me goes above and beyond. His staff is...

Horrendous doesn't know basic diagnostics. Unprofessional

DR. J WAS GREAT! I HAD A RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY IN 2016 AND EVERYTHING WENT GREAT. MORE THAN LIKELY, ANYBODY WITH A COMPLAINT DID NOT DO WHAT HE SAID AND KNOW THEY ARE PAYING THE PIPER

I highly recommend Dr. Plaskey. I saw him for foot pain and learned that a metatarsal bone broken in 2017 had never healed. He recommended a bone stimulator to be used daily and after three months, the bone is healed and I am out of pain. He is such a pleasant man, too, easy to talk to and never...

Dr. Akkad is the most patient-centric physician I've had the pleasure of dealing with in Arizona. He obviously knows his business; most physicians do. What sets him apart from the rest is his genuine interest and concern for each patient. He took time to thoroughly explain my son's situation in...

A warning to all considering having surgery performed by this man. He is careless and preys on older adults. His bedside manner, or lack thereof, is pitiful. You should really search him before agreeing to undergo surgery with him in the room. He will persuade and convince patients to proceed...

No, No, No. I went to Dr. J to replace my breast implants of 25years. One was encapsulated and hard. His office got some partial financial relief through my insurance. But in the end it was not worth it. I was told the procedure was easy to replace the original implants. I was not offered the...

Dr. Tran took the time to fully explain my options, including any financial considerations. Professional and friendly, too. A very busy guy, and now I know why.

I was considering back surgery and had an EKG done to get the ball rolling. When Katherine Minor, PA-C, saw the results, the word "abnormal" was mentioned! Over the next several days, the pain in my chest was constant, and I went to the ER for treatment! A second EKG was done, and it abnormal! Dr...

Both Dr. Doss and his staff are great. Very friendly and always ready to help. Dr. Doss does get called out for emergencies putting him a little behind in the office once in awhile. I am ok with that since he went to the hospital to check on me when I had my heart attack. If caring for his patients...

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shennib and his staff! In June of 2011 Dr. Shennib performed open heart surgery on me to repair an ascending aortic aneurysm. As I write this review, it's now been 8 years and many echos (ultrasounds) later with him and my regular cardiologist. Dr...

I’ve been going to Dr. Badalov’s office for a few years now after having trouble finding a dentist that dealt well with fearful patients. I’ve always had good experiences here, and they are kind, gentle, and fun. I would highly recommend them!

Stay away

takes his time - listens and very caring

I have been a patient of Dr. Nathan Laufer for almost almost 15 years. He is an extraordinarily focused and caring physician. He worked on my issues with with arrhythmia to eliminate it without the need for any surgical procedure by fine-tuning my medication to the point that I have no issues with...

Explained more than any other doctor has previously. Was candid about pros and cons. Very pleasant and kind. staff also was great. We will see about ease of scheduling.

Dr. Zaher Akkad deserve a Gold-Star for being an excellent cardiologist and an Outstanding human being. (outstanding human being) Imagine finding out that you need heart surgery when you do not have health insurance. I was lucky to have my surgery preformed by Dr. Akkad, and would confidently...

Dr Julio Rodriguez Lopez saved my life! There is no greater gift than that!!!

Brenda, Rachel, and Veronica are the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else they take great care of my husband and I. Rosemary Graves

Dr Sadhu is an amazing doctor! Even upon our initial consultation I asked him not pull any punches and be real with me. I always get just that. He knows me well enough to scold me for not losing weight or being more active. He also cares about the meds I’m on and the side effects. His office staff...

Beware! This doctor over promises and under delivers!! When concerns/issues are brought up, he immediately gets defensive and his whole demeanor changes. Dr Jacobsen is a prideful, arrogant doc who lacks empathy and the ability to own up to his mistakes. Trust me, stay away!!!

I'm grateful for Dr. Akkad and his assistant Katie for saving me from a heart attack. I'm a 62 yr old guy with no previous cardiovascular history. My only symptom was a feeling of pressure or tightness in my chest when doing cardio exercises at the gym. More annoying than anything. I aced the...

Very good. His staff admires him and operates like a team.

Best cardiologist in Scottsdale! He truly cares about his patients and is always available. His staff is also wonderful and professional. Myself and family trust Dr Doss!

I am not making a comment about cardiac care at this time. In our experience It is inadvisable to have Dr Nathan Laufer do thigh angioplasties. Our highly reputed doctor had to go through the thighs to do knee to toe angioplasties on my husband. He said there was still a lot of plaque in my...

Horrible doctor! Doesn't show any care for the patient. Always in a hurry. Interested in volume. Should probably be in manufacturing.

I have had several procedures done by Dr. Vranic and am pleased with his expertise in peripheral artery disease. He is a caring professional and always feel like he gives me the extra attention I need. Dr. Vranic speaks with my primary care doctor to give me the best possible care. I would...

I generally dont like Doctors. I would say I am probably a difficult patient at times because Im stubborn and I dont like being told what i can and cant do. I liked Dr. Akkad , and Katie Minor immediately. Both Dr. Akkad and Katie are very easy to talk to and discuss things with. I wish only that...

Dr.Akkad And Katie Minor are very good at what they do. They Take the time to answer ALL of your questions and are very thorough when going over procedures or test results. Katie has a genuine compassionate nature and is very caring.

Dr. Akkad is very professional and personable. He listens and takes a proactive approach to my heart condition. I trust his judgement and that he does not take a "wait and see" attitude toward my ongoing heart condition. It's been 6 years and a week since I was wheeled into emergency and he put a...

Dr. Goldstein is nonpareil in his surgical and communication skills. He put my husband, Harvey and I, at ease almost immediately at our initial 2 hour meeting. He explained each step of the upcoming operation and patiently answered all our questions. He saw me daily, following my cancerous lung...

After 3 years of seeing two other cardiologist with no good results I finally did some research of cardiologist and with a recommendation from a friend I saw DR Akkad that looked at my testing so far and in 24 hours had me at Banner hospital for a stent on an artery that was 99% clogged. How the...

Excellent

FABULOUS. He placed a stent in my heart. Was caring, kind, compassionate and answered every questions. Found another issue that needed to be addressed and followed by an abdominal vascular surgeon. He also has a fun very likable personality.

Dr. Akkad is an amazing cardiologist that really went the extra mile to help my husband. He is very knowledgeable and works with his patients to ensure their understanding of their condition and the treatment plan. We couldn't have asked for a better doctor.

I think Dr Swarup is a talented surgeon. His communication with me is good. The problem I have is that I am not very patient and he is seldom on time. I realize he may be in surgery or checking on other patients but my time is valuable too. It is frustrating to come in 10-15 prior to the time...

Great experience with Dr Jacobsen. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift with implant exchange and I am very happy with the results. Dr. J came to the hospital the night after I had the surgery to check on me. Very impressed. Dr J did a wonderful job and I will highly recommend him. "High Class" Doctor...

I have been a patient of Dr. Akkad since 2006, and he saved my life. I have returned to him ever since. He is very kind and patient, and takes the time to explain procedures and outcomes. At one point my insurance no longer had Dr. Akkad as a provider (which was very disappointing) but shortly after...

Great doctor, excellent PR, we will recommend to anyone

If you're looking for compassion, straight forward and excellence look no further. Dr Zaher will get the results your looking for and your expectations you desire in a heart doctor, God Bless

Had I not been referred to Dr Akkad, I would have had a multi-bypass surgery performed. The previous cardiologist said it was “the only thing that would help”. WRONG!! Dr Akkad, on the first visit, listened, recommended a couple tests, and during the followup appointment said no to any surgery!! He...

Absolute best in Cardilogy field and I have met several because of immediate family members. Always provides complete explanations, takes time to make sure the person understands, never rushes a patient and always allows question. I so thankful I was referred to Dr Akkad! The overall medical field...

I was referred by my primary care following an ekg. The examination and tests was thorough and discovered that I have a totally blocked artery. Not too long after that, I had a stent placed in that artery (with an overnight hospital stay), and now I feel great. Medical science has extended my life.
